Ubiquitin regulatory domain X (UBX) found in UBX domain protein 2A (UBXN2A) and similar proteins; UBXN2A, also termed UBX domain-containing protein 4 (UBXD4), belongs to the UBXD family of proteins that contains the ubiquitin regulatory domain X (UBX) with a beta-grasp ubiquitin-like fold, but without the C-terminal double glycine motif. UBX domain is typically located at the carboxyl terminus of proteins, and participates broadly in the regulation of protein degradation. UBXN2A functions as a p97 (also known as VCP or Cdc48) adaptor protein facilitating the regulation of the cell surface number and stability of alpha3-containing neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). It also regulates nicotinic receptor degradation by modulating the E3 ligase activity of carboxyl terminus of Hsc70 interacting protein (CHIP) that is involved in the degradation of several disease-related proteins. In addition, UBXN2A is an important anticancer factor that contributes to p53 localization and activation as a host defense mechanism against cancerous growth. It acts as a potential mortalin inhibitor, as well as a potential chemotherapy sensitizer for clinical application. It binds to the oncoprotein mortalin-2 (mot-2), and further unsequesters p53 from mot-2 in the cytoplasm, resulting in translocation of p53 to the nucleus where p53 proteins activate their downstream biological effects, including apoptosis.

UBA-like domain found in the NXF family of mRNA nuclear export factors and similar proteins; This family includes nuclear RNA export factors (NXF1/NXF2), FAS-associated factors (FAF1/2), tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 2 (TDP2), OTU domain-containing proteins (OTU7A/OTU7B), NSFL1 cofactor p47, defective in cullin neddylation protein 1 (DCN1)-like protein (DCNL1/DCNL2), yeast defective in cullin neddylation protein 1 (DCN1) and similar proteins. NXF proteins can stimulate nuclear export of mRNAs and facilitate the export of unspliced viral mRNA containing the constitutive transport element. FAF1 is an apoptotic signaling molecule that acts downstream in the Fas signal transduction pathway. It interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of Fas, but not to a Fas mutant that is deficient in signal transduction. FAF2 is the translation product of a highly expressed gene in the T-cells and eosinophils of atopic dermatitis patients compared with those of normal individuals. Its biological function remains unclear. TDP2 is a 5'-Tyr-DNA phosphodiesterase required for the efficient repair of topoisomerase II-induced DNA double strand breaks. OTU7A and OTU7B are zinc finger proteins that function as deubiquitinating enzymes. p47 is a major cofactor of the cytosolic AAA ATPase p97. It is required for the p97-regulated membrane reassembly of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the nuclear envelope and the Golgi apparatus. DCNL1 plays an essential role in the neddylation E3 complex and participates in the release of inhibitory effects of CAND1 on cullin-RING ligase E3 complex assembly and activity. The biological function of DCNL2 remains unclear. Yeast DCN1 is a scaffold-type E3 ligase for cullin neddylation. It can bind directly to cullins and the ubiquitin-like protein Nedd8-specific E2 (Ubc12), and regulate cullin neddylation and thus display ubiquitin ligase activity.

In concert with ubiquitin-like Atg8, Cdc48 and Ubx1 are involved in the regulation of autophagosome biogenesis. Ubx1 also functions as a regulator of phosphoprotein phosphatase 1 (PP1) with differential effects on glycogen metabolism, meiotic differentiation, and mitotic cell cycle progression. All family members contain an N-terminal ubiquitin-associated (UBA)-like domain.

UBA-like domain found in FAS-associated factor FAF1, FAF2 and similar proteins; FAF1, also called UBX domain-containing protein 12 or UBX domain-containing protein 3A, is an apoptotic signaling molecule that acts downstream in the Fas signal transduction pathway. It interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of Fas, but not to a Fas mutant that is deficient in signal transduction. FAF1 is widely expressed in adult and embryonic tissues, and in tumor cell lines, and is localized not only in the cytoplasm where it interacts with Fas, but also in the nucleus. FAF1 contains phosphorylation sites for protein kinase CK2 within the nuclear targeting domain. Phosphorylation influences nuclear localization of FAF1 but does not affect its potentiation of Fas-induced apoptosis. Other functions have also been attributed to FAF1. It inhibits nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) by interfering with the nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit. Although the precise role of FAF1 in the ubiquitination pathway remains unclear, FAF1 interacts with valosin-containing protein (VCP) which is involved in the ubiquitin-proteosome pathway. FAF2, also called protein ETEA, UBX domain-containing protein 3B, or UBX domain-containing protein 8, is the translation product of a highly expressed gene in the T-cells and eosinophils of atopic dermatitis patients compared with those of normal individuals. FAF2 shows homology to Fas-associated factor 1 (FAF1). Both of them contain N-terminal ubiquitin-associated (UBA)-like domain, UAS and ubiquitin-like (UBX) domains. Compared to FAF1, however, FAF2 lacks the nuclear targeting domain. The function of FAF2 remains unclear. A yeast two-hybrid assay showed that it can interact with Fas. Because of its homology to FAF1, it is postulated that FAF2 could be involved in modulating Fas-mediated apoptosis of T-cells and eosinophils of atopic dermatitis patients, making them more resistant to apoptosis.

Ubiquitin regulatory domain X (UBX) found in UBX domain protein 4 (UBXN4) and similar proteins; UBXN4, also termed ERAD (endoplasmic-reticulum-associated protein degradation) substrate erasing protein (erasin), or UBX domain-containing protein 2 (UBXD2), or UBXDC1, belongs to the UBXD family of proteins that contains the ubiquitin regulatory domain X (UBX) with a beta-grasp ubiquitin-like fold, but without the C-terminal double glycine motif. UBX domain is typically located at the carboxyl terminus of proteins, and participates broadly in the regulation of protein degradation. UBXN4 is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) localized protein that interacts with p97 (also known as VCP or Cdc48) via its UBX domain. Erasin exists in a complex with other p97/VCP-associated factors involved in endoplasmic-reticulum-associated protein degradation (ERAD). p97 is a homohexameric AAA ATPase (ATPase associated with a variety of activities) involved in a variety of functions ranging from cell-cycle regulation to membrane fusion and protein degradation. The overexpression of UBXN4 increases degradation of a classical ERAD substrate and UBXN4 levels are increased in ER stressed cells. Anti-UBXN4 staining is increased in neuropathological lesions in brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease.

UBA domain-like superfamily; The ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain-like superfamily contains alpha-helical structural homology ubiquitin-binding domains, including UBA domains and coupling of ubiquitin conjugation to endoplasmic reticulum degradation (CUE) domains which share a common three-helical bundle architecture. UBA domains are commonly occurring sequence motifs found in proteins involved in ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. They contribute to ubiquitin (Ub) binding or ubiquitin-like (UbL) domain binding. However, some kinds of UBA domains can only bind the UbL domain, but not the Ub domain. UBA domains are normally comprised of compact three-helix bundles which contain a conserved GF/Y-loop. They can bind polyubiquitin with high affinity. They also bind monoubiquitin and other proteins. Most UBA domain-containing proteins have one UBA domain, but some harbor two or three UBA domains. CUE domain containing proteins are characterized by an FP and a di-leucine-like sequence and bind to monoubiquitin with varying affinities. Some higher eukaryotic CUE domain proteins do not bind monoubiquitin efficiently, since they carry LP, rather than FP among CUE domains. This superfamily also includes many UBA-like domains found in AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) related kinases, the NXF family of mRNA nuclear export factors, elongation factor Ts (EF-Ts), nascent polypeptide-associated complex subunit alpha (NACA) and similar proteins. Although many UBA-like domains may have a conserved TG but not GF/Y-loop, they still show a high level of structural and sequence similarity with three-helical ubiquitin binding domains.
